January Commute
Today was the perfect day to get back on the bike for a January commute. Due to extenuating circumstances, today was my first bicycle commute in quite a while. Between colds, lack of sleep, foul weather and other lame excuses, I have been in a gas powered transport rut. It was invigorating to get to work under my own steam.
The ride in: It was a cool 37 degrees and windy on the way in... no complaints for the end of January though! By the two-mile mark of the commute I was warmed up - sweating a little by the time I arrived at work (hands were a little cold).
Comments: The Trek was my choice for the commute today. I wouldn't say I was over dressed, but I probably should have unzipped about midway through the ride (both ways). What a beautiful day.
I noticed today that the birds on my feeders scatter when I go for my truck in the morning (and when I pull into our driveway), but they remain hard at work when I come and go on the bicycle.
The ride home: Nice tailwind, in the upper forties.
Number of fellow cyclists seen on both trips: 2
